Ballad of Serenity

Twilight stared at me for a moment before pulling me into an embrace. "It's been too long, Last i heard you were up in the frontier" I gave her a small smile, and a nod of the head. Twilight knew why i was here, the elements were being passed on to a new generation and I had taken it upon my self to chronicle this next piece of history in the making.

the last time the elements were used was back when discord re-emerged, and we all know full well how that turned out.

I sat down as the tall lanky thin dragon brought several mugs of tea in from the kitchen. "so..."

"I suppose you finally want those answers huh?" I asked. her eyes lit up in remembrance.

"If its not too much trouble"

so we sat and I began to tell the tale of how i came to be known as Bubblegum Crisis.

It was a saturday night, I was simply sitting there with nothing to do, Restringing a guitar for the umpteenth time.

as i did this, I searched youtube. randomly clicking on different videos. suddenly it dawned on me, the first two episodes of season two were online. I stopped my current search and began a new one. but then as i started watching, I couldn't help but notice the paw on my shoulder. my first thought was what the fuck have i been smoking, I reached for a near by guitar string and simply lunged forwards in an attempt to garrote the spirit of chaos.

Discord, living up to his name, simply went out of phase and laughed. "its not going to work you know" from out of no-where, he pulled a box of popcorn out. "want some? I want to see how this plays out from this side" I simply blinked for a moment surmising that i had finally gone off the deep end. "eh, sure why not"

the first part was over, and i shot him an unhealthy glare. Clicking on the second part of the two parter, I had an idea.

"howzabout a wager?" I asked, he simply shrugged and agreed.

"if i win, I get to cause as much chaos as i want on both planes of existence"

"Naturally, but if you lose, not only do you get encased in stone, but i get to finally live in peace okay?"

he nodded and we shook hands.

and sure enough, at the end of the episode, He was encased in stone. but that's when it happened. he admitted defeat and smiled maliciously. just before he disappeared back to what ever hole he came from, he grabbed my wrist and started to laugh. "I may have lost... but so did you" I was suddenly pulled about, I felt my self grow younger, and then came nothing but pain.

it felt like a brief burning in my bones, then a few cracks were heard. finally feeling blood trickle down my forehead, I raised a now furred hand up to wipe it away, only to find my newly grown horn making its presence known.

Finally, with a loud thud, I hit the cold hard marble floor of the throne room, naked, scared out of my wits, and shivering.

the first guard to see me, simply pointed a spear my way. and started shouting.

I finally took notice of where i was. but the guard was then abruptly silenced by Celestia.

she took me in, when I told her my name and what i was... or rather, Used to be, she freaked out,

"Celestia, don't blame discord for this, I brought it on myself for making that stupid bet, least i won though, plus could i get some pants..." I smiled at her.

a few days after this, I was used to my new Equestrian form. they had seen me wandering the halls at night, sometimes i would just stop and stare at the moon. As I sat and pondered the great thoughts, she stood behind me.

I glanced over to her, "Your in my spot" she growled. I simply shuffled across. "what are you doing out here anyway?"

she asked, "shouldn't you be studying?"

I gave a deep sigh. "Luna, like it or not, I'm twentyone, my mind works differently to everyone... everypony else's, so forgive me if i have a little trouble adjusting"

Luna sat down beside me, "it's fine, but at the moment...Your twelve"

I didn't argue.  "think of it as a second chance to do the things you want to do" She was right.

she then placed a hand on my shoulder. "besides, I know six ponies who want to meet you" I gave the princess of the night a small smile. "do I have to act cute? or can i be myself?"

Luna could see through my fake frown, "be yourself, but just a little younger"

within a week, You and your friends had arrived, Unbeknownst to me, for your Birthday, Twilight.

I could see you were having fun, but of course the fun had to end. it was funny confusing you with the way I began to act, watching the princesses desparetly controlling their mirth. It was a strange day. my magic had been playing up. so i stuck my head in a book for advanced spells. that doesnt matter now.

within a year... I began to miss home, but then i realized Equestria is my home now.

when i told the princesses of my revalations, they simply smiled. I

began to train for a journey. all six of you returned for the royal wedding later that year. little did I know you were signing a book for me. I began to learn quickly about different magics. I then stumbled on a book which contained a prophecy.

I read it, ran off and handed it over to Celestia. "I'm not the one your looking for" I gave her a small smile. "Chances are, they're in ponyville" I knew they wanted to find the next generation of element bearers.

they both looked at me saddened slightly until Celestia spoke up. "I thought you could help find them instead"

I gave her a smile. so I began my research into genealogy, research was inconclusive.

In the end, I decided to just let time run its course.

"You know the rest Twilight, Celestia did keep you up to date like you asked" I gave the librarian a smile.

she simply nodded.
